I think it's high time I try it, so I'd like to make it tomorrow. But I don't have the 1,5 cups of cashews it calls for, I only have about 1/2 cup, at the most. And the only other nuts I've found in the house are hazel nuts, peanuts and walnuts and I don't think any of those would work. Could I use like chickpeas to fill it up? Or silken tofu? Or should I just wait until I have cashews and make it as it should be?

Chickpeas might work. They are mild in flavor and have a kind of creamy texture when blended.

You don't have macadamia nuts, huh? Those would probably work.

Let us know if you try it with any substitutions...
